130: Chapter 130: Happiness Cos Too Suddenly!
This is awkward.
At Tianyuan, there weren’t many old classmates to begin with.
Now, with a sudden notification, Wu Jie had called each one.
But it was either they had holiday plans already, or they had to return to their hotown and couldn’t co.
Wu Jie had initially told Tang Xiao to reserve two tables, but now…
reserve what exactly?
“It’s better if they don’t co.
After all, it’s a fake marriage.
If they caused a ruckus and forced to kiss Tang Xiao on the spot, wouldn’t that be seeking death?”
After consoling himself, Wu Jie collected his emotions and hurried back to work.
Yu Hui and Shi Cheng were truly ‘a match made in scandal heaven.’
When it ca to settling accounts, they showed no rcy.
By four-thirty in the afternoon.
Tang Xiao had issued the group’s anti-corruption announcent.
Soon after, many shareholders and dia reporters found, to their surprise, that Tang Xiao’s anti-corruption campaign was incredibly fierce this ti.
The dismissal of more than four hundred people, the arrest of more than a hundred people, and the confiscation of ill-gotten gains amounting to several hundred million…
The larger the enterprise, the more severe the anti-corruption campaign needs to be.
Because large enterprises make lots of money, and with just a little power, corruption is easily bred.
So, it’s common to see employees of big enterprises being dismissed or detained, but usually, it’s just a handful of people.
For Tanglong Industrial Group to have so many people involved and such a large amount of money, it was unprecedented.
Soon enough, nurous videos started circulating online.
Just at the group headquarters alone, several police cars and even a police bus arrived.
Videos of employees being taken away from various branch companies across the country also erged.
Tang Xiao’s strong stance on combating corruption also helped to bolster her reputation as a domineering female CEO, solidifying it in the hearts of the people even more.
And within the anti-corruption announcent, a particular individual was highlighted prominently.
He was the newly appointed Director of the Supervisory Departnt, Wu Jie.
The announcent pointed out that Wu Jie had played a crucial role in rooting out the mole and breaking up the large-scale corruption network.
For this, the board of directors gave him a high comndation and, in accordance with the group’s anti-corruption policy, awarded him with a whopping ten million yuan as a bonus.
At the sa ti, it urged employees to maintain integrity, reject corruption, and report any corruption in exchange for substantial rewards.
As the announcent was posted, shareholders started sharing and comnting, all of them cheering on the move.
And what about Wu Jie?
In the restroom next to the president’s office.
Wu Jie was almost laughing himself into a fit.
Happiness had co so unexpectedly!
Not only had he received a ten-million-yuan bonus for taking down Dou Cheng and his cronies, but the group’s announcent had also made many people envious, jealous, and resentful towards him.
Ten million yuan!
A sum many people could only dream of, and now everyone wanted it, right?
With good news coming too frequently, Wu Jie simply had the system set to only notify him of energy points awards of fewer than a thousand points for the ti being.
Although the constant pinging of ssages stopped, his balance of energy points kept climbing rapidly.
Hence, Wu Jie hurriedly accepted the third task with a reward on offer.
“Earn ten million energy points within three months?
If I can’t complete this, then I might as well eat shit and die!”
Taking his ti, he returned to the office and didn’t have to wait long before President Tang and his daughter ca back.
President Tang didn’t have the joy of a victory against corruption; he made a calming gesture when he saw Wu Jie stand up.
“Although we’ve purged Dou Cheng and a large number of people, the work of combating corruption and espionage in the Supervisory Departnt is still not easy!”
“The board has unanimously decided to compete vigorously for the East Africa SAM project as it’s an extrely rare multi-billion dollar project!”
As he said that, President Tang glanced at Tang Xiao.
“Besides, now that you two are married, Jie, you shouldn’t live in a rented apartnt anymore.
Move into Xiao’s apartnt tonight!”
Wu Jie imdiately looked at Tang Xiao, saw her give a slight nod, and then quickly responded with a smile,
“Sure!
I’ll follow Dad’s arrangents for everything!”
“Since you’ll follow my advice, then don’t waste ti.
You two are already registered today; strive to give a grandson by next year!”
A grandson?
Wu Jie almost burst out laughing.
Tang Xiao clenched her teeth, her head lowered, unclear whether she was feeling shy or holding back laughter.
President Tang, with a stern face, stared at them.
“What are you two dawdling for?
Didn’t you hear ?
Get moving and pack up for the move!”
“Yes, yes, we’re on it!
Right away!”
Without further ado, Wu Jie quickly stepped forward, took Tang Xiao’s hand, and headed towards the door.
Tang Xiao, caught off guard, initially struggled reflexively a bit.
But suddenly realizing that his father was still watching from behind, he stopped.
Once they left the office, Tang Xiao retracted her hand like lightning.
“I’ll clear out a room for you in the apartnt, hurry back and pack your things to move in.”
Wu Jie frowned and retorted, “Setting up two beds might seem too fake, wouldn’t it?
What if Dad suddenly checks up on us, how would we explain?”
Tang Xiao gave Wu Jie a cold sideways glance, “Want to share a bed with ?”
Her tone was nonchalant, but her eyes were filled with frost.
Wu Jie forced a laugh and shook his head, “Of course that’s not what I an, I’m just saying we need to be cautious!”
“If you don’t want to make the bed every night, then sleep on the couch!”
Just as she finished speaking, they passed by the President’s secretaries’ office.
The beautiful secretaries, including Xie Wanjun, imdiately stood up in unison to greet them.
“Good day, President Tang!
Good day, Director Wu!”
Their voices were lodious, echoing in unison.
What was even more enjoyable than their voices were the tall and beautiful figures as they bowed with such disciplined uniformity.
That sweet smile…
That envious look…
Wu Jie was suddenly taken aback.
The system actually announced joyfully that he had received twenty thousand points of Tang Xiao’s hatred.
Damn it!!
Is it wrong to admire beautiful won?
Let’s be honest, we’re just a fake couple!
As soon as they entered the elevator, Wu Jie directly asked, “Why do you hate ?”
“How do you know I hate you?” Tang Xiao pressed the button for the basent floor and glanced at Wu Jie, “You’d better behave yourself.
So of them are my dad’s confidants.
If they realize our marriage is fake, we’re dood!”
“So, I’m warning you.
If in the future you flirt and joke with beautiful won, or even talk about love, it absolutely must not reach my dad’s or the Tang Family People’s ears, otherwise this marriage is pointless!”
Wu Jie laughed, “Alright then!
From now on, I’ll only look at you, since you’re my wife after all!”
“Stop acting, there’s no one else here!”
Tang Xiao humphed softly and stepped out of the elevator.
Both returned to their respective hos by car.
Wu Jie had barely left the parking lot when he called Tang Xin.
“Cohabitation, eh?
A lone man and a woman living under the sa roof, if they live together long enough, they’re likely to turn the charade into reality!”
“So I want to congratulate you in advance, brother-in-law!”
Listening to Tang Xin’s teasing laughter, Wu Jie imdiately complained:
“Congratulate my ass!
The tough days are yet to co!”
“Co on!
Just be secretly happy.
I’m almost ho, gotta go!”
With that, Tang Xin hung up the call.
Back at the shared house, Wu Jie opened the door and ran into Lin Yuan packing her bags.
“With so many suitcases, where are you going?”
“I’m going back to the orphanage to spend ti with the kids, kind of like a vacation!”
Lin Yuan smiled sweetly.
The setting sun poured through the window, casting a soft, beautiful glow on her smooth cheeks.
Gentle, kind, intelligent, and beautiful, she was truly a goddess!
Too bad…
she wasn’t interested in n!
Aside from his inner sigh, Wu Jie said:
“With so much luggage like this, let pack up quickly, and I’ll drive you over later!”
“Sure!
Thanks on behalf of the children at the orphanage.
These suitcases are full of gifts for them.
I was worried about calling a rideshare, fearing that the driver might not be willing to co upstairs to help with the luggage!”
Lin Yuan smiled sweetly.
Her face bead with a lovely smile, and her clear eyes revealed imasurable joy.
Wu Jie couldn’t help but think, “If only Tang Xiao could smile so sweetly, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
Evening.
Wu Jie drove to the outskirts to the orphanage, and as they got out of the car to take out the luggage, a crowd of children quickly surrounded them.
“Lin’s here!”
“Everybody co look, Lin brought us lots of gifts!”
“Lin, you told to work hard on my math, and I got ninety points on the end-of-month test this ti!”
“Lin, is he your boyfriend?
He’s so handso!”
